Jaguar’s all-new electric grand tourer – the first in a new generation of luxury EVs – is edging closer to production, with prototypes now undergoing testing across multiple continents ahead of its global reveal later this year. Although still heavily camouflaged, the latest test vehicles reveal more of the sleek and athletic design that will define the brand’s next era.

New details include sharply styled headlights positioned high on the nose, expected to use the latest digital LED matrix technology, and a wider front grille incorporating active air intakes that adjust to cool the high-performance electric drivetrain.

Further back, production-ready bodywork shows flared wheelarches, flush door handles and a pronounced shoulder line reminiscent of classic Jaguars. The rear design will feature a sweeping roofline that flows into muscular haunches, with ultra-slim LED taillights and a full-width brake light completing the car’s distinctive lighting signature.

Codenamed Type 00, the upcoming GT will be the first Jaguar to use the company’s new Electric Architecture platform, which will also underpin two further models – a large SUV and a luxury sedan – as part of Jaguar’s transition into an all-electric, high-end marque focused on “modern luxury.”

Power will come from a state-of-the-art electric system capable of delivering around 700 kilometres of range and ultra-fast charging that can add approximately 320 kilometres of driving in just 15 minutes. Jaguar’s Managing Director, Rawdon Glover, described the car’s technology as “game-changing,” noting that the aim is to eliminate concerns about range and charging convenience.

Interest is already high, with more than 32,000 prospective buyers registering interest before seeing the finished model. Expected to be priced from around A$250,000, the new GT will position Jaguar alongside top-tier performance brands such as Porsche and Aston Martin.

Jaguar CEO Adrian Mardell said the new direction represents a once-in-a-generation reset for the marque. “This is Jaguar’s opportunity to do something extraordinary – to bring back the excitement and elegance we’re known for,” he said. “It will be lower volume, higher luxury, and unmistakably Jaguar.”

The electric GT will make its debut in late 2026, marking the beginning of Jaguar’s bold reinvention – an era defined by emotional design, cutting-edge technology and zero-emission performance.
